I was worried because I built a new P.C yesterday and thought maybe that would be the cause. Strangely enough it uses the nforce2 chipset and I'd updated the drivers as part of a microsoft upgrade. I've reinstalled the drivers that came with the Mobo but still no joy. Terrible surfing speeds. yet doing a speed test shows everything as being pretty good.
why would that be?

try specifying a proxy server.
IE- tools -> internet options -> connections -> lan settings
firefox- tools -> options -> connection settings
there is a link to all the proxy servers somewhere on here... i will find it in a second.
